Old Fashioned Cider Apple Pie image

This recipe is really, really old fashioned, and dates back to a family that came on the Mayflower. Or so it's said. Recipe courtesy of Janet Clark. Be sure to use the cider that's in the refrigerated section of the grocery, not the bottled stuff that's full of sugar.

1/2 lb dried apples
3 c apple cider (see note)
1/2 c sugar
